This skill should be used when the user asks to "run pentest commands", "scan with nmap", "use metasploit exploits", "crack passwords with hydra or john", "scan web vulnerabilities with nikto", "enumerate networks", or needs essential penetration testing command references.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Pentest Commands ## Purpose Provide a comprehensive command reference for penetration testing tools including network scanning, exploitation, password cracking, and web application testing. Enable quick command lookup during security assessments. ## Inputs/Prerequisites - Kali Linux or penetration testing distribution - Target IP addresses with authorization - Wordlists for brute forcing - Network access to target systems - Basic understanding of tool syntax ## Outputs/Deliverables - Network enumeration results - Identified vulnerabilities - Exploitation payloads - Cracked credentials - Web vulnerability findings ## Core Workflow ### 1. Nmap Commands **Host Discovery:** ```bash # Ping sweep nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 # List IPs without scanning nmap -sL 192.168.1.0/24 # Ping scan (host discovery) nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 ``` **Port Scanning:** ```bash # TCP SYN scan (stealth) nmap -sS 192.168.1.1 # Full TCP connect scan nmap -sT 192.168.1.1 # UDP scan nmap -sU 192.168.1.1 # All ports (1-65535) nmap -p- 192.168.1.1 # Specific ports nmap -p 22,80,443 192.168.1.1 ``` **Service Detection:** ```bash # Service versions nmap -sV 192.168.1.1 # OS detection …

How to install
mdr add zebbern/claude-code-guide/pentest-commands@sha256:b4f4ab20ae9a6388The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
